A system and method for automatically creating testcases for design rule checking comprises first creating a table with a design rule number, a description, and the values from a design rule manual. Next, any design specific options are derived that affect the flow of the design rule checking, including back end of the line stack options. Then, the design rule values and any design specific options (including back end of the line stack options) are extracted into testcases. Next, the testcases are organized such that there is one library with a plurality of root cells, further comprising one root cell for checking all rules pertaining to the front end of the line, and another root cell for checking design specific options including back end of the line stack options. Finally, the DRC runset is run against the testcases to determine if the DRC runset provides for design rule checking.

An apparatus and method for issue grouping of instructions in a VLIW processor is disclosed. There can be one, two, or three issue groups (but no greater than three issue groups) in each VLIW packet. In one embodiment, a template in the VLIW packet comprises two issue group end markers where each issue group end marker comprises three bits. The three bits in the first issue group end marker identifies the instruction which is the last instruction in the first issue group. Likewise, the three bits in the second issue group end marker identifies the instruction which is the last instruction in the second issue group. Any instructions in the VLIW packet falling outside the two expressly defined first and second issue groups are placed in a third issue group. As such, three issue groups can be identified by use of the two issue group end markers. In one embodiment, the template of the VLIW packet includes a chaining bit. The chaining bit is used to "chain" instructions appearing after the last instruction of the last issue group of a first VLIW packet to the instructions in the first issue group of a second VLIW packet. In one embodiment, a mask generation logic along with other logic blocks are utilized to generate an appropriate mask. The generated mask is used to pass through instructions in a VLIW packet which belong to a same issue group for execution in a same clock cycle.

Techniques are provided for enumerating regularly identifiable or stereotypical phrases that people commonly use to convey particular information, and where exactly in these phrases the particular information is to be found. In one embodiment, such phrases are referred to as “regular expressions.” Using such enumerated phrases, the invention is able to automatically identify them in an input data stream and then identify and extract the particular information associated with the phrase that is being sought, e.g., important or relevant information.

[Problems] To reduce a cell search process including sector identification without increasing a load on a transmission / reception device.[Means for Solving Problems] A synchronization channel (SCH) contained in a down link of a multi-carrier mobile communication system is multiplied by a sector unique code and a cell unique code (step S1). The multiplication result is allocated to a sub-carrier on the frequency axis (step S2) and subjected to a spread process and an IFFT process (steps S3, S4). Furthermore, GI is inserted and D / A conversion are performed (steps S5, S6). A multi-carrier is transmitted from a directivity antenna of each sector (step S7). A reception side identifies the SCH position by the self-correlation method or the mutual correlation method and performs the FFT. After this, the reception side simultaneously performs identification of a sector by detecting a sector unique code and acquisition of cell unique information by demodulating a cell unique code.

The present invention relates to methods, apparatus and systems for processing an electronic document and its corresponding device. It provides methods for browsing an electronic document and its corresponding browser, and methods for extracting information segments from an electronic document and its corresponding system for the same. An example of a method for processing an electronic document comprises extracting one or more information segments of the domains to which the electronic document relates from the electronic document being written by an author, and correspondingly storing said extracted information segments with said document. Wherein one or more information extraction patterns are used to extract information segments of different domains to which the electronic document relates from said document. And the extracted information segments are verified by the writer so as to ensure its correctness, reliability and readability.

Methods and apparatus to process online interactions from numerous sources, coming from different time frames and systems. One embodiment includes a facilitator, an interaction processor, and an action generator. The facilitator facilitates interactions in one or more devices, where interactions typically occur. The processor can consolidate and analyze interactions from multiple sources, in different formats, and collected at different time frames, to extract intelligence from them. The processor processes such interactions, and generates an interaction descriptor for each interaction. A descriptor can include a generalization of the corresponding interaction, and at least a part of the interaction. Descriptors for different types of interactions can be represented by the same format to allow the processor to analyze them together. The action generator can improve on future interactions; refer an interaction to be responded by a human representative if necessary; and allow users to extract information from the analysis, and generate reports regarding the interactions. Future interactions can then be significantly enhanced, with customers having higher satisfaction level, and companies more accurately charting their future.
